Fujitsu appears to be continuing the successes of the 10,000 rpm tests. Performance values for the MAS drive are outstanding. It notches up 77 MB/s for maximum read speed and a healthy 60 MB/s minimum. Its write performance is only slightly below this.
Fujitsu's model performance continues in Business Disk Winbench: In the Highend Disk Winbench section it is only beaten by Maxtor's Atlas 15K. Once again, Fujitsu is a heartbeat faster than the competition in the access-time test and is the only model under 6 ms.
Its dominance is only broken in the IOMeter tests when large query depths are required. In this discipline, the other three drives fare better.
